I have no formal role here, so please just take this as a plea from a participant: Let's please stop bickering: it's simply hindering a productive discussion of a charter, and it's clear that we can have endless back-and-forth messages in this vein for quite some time if we let ourselves. Please, let's not let ourselves.
For what it's worth, I remember extensive discussions about having signatures remain verifiable after delivery, and I remember a significant, but not universal desire to do so. But I think that's not relevant now: 1. It's not relevant to the discussion we need to have now, which is about the proposed charter. Any discussion of actual solutions is for the eventual working group, and I really don't see a need to have wording in the charter about this particular issue. 2. I don't believe the original intent should be relevant even in the eventual working group discussion. What's important specifically is NOT what we thought then, but what we think NOW, with the information we have now. We will need to weigh proposed solutions with their efficacy on one side of the scale and their consequences on the other, keeping in mind current usage and current problems. Ultimately, deciding the relevance of a particular discussion, and moderating any such discussion, will be up to the chairs of the working group (which, by the way, will not include me). Let's please leave that for when we have a working group and we have chairs with that mission.
